Abstract

VELASCO-ESTRADA., Alondra; OROZCO-GONZALEZ, Claudia Nelly  and  ZUNIGA-TORRES, Guadalupe. Association of quality of diet and obesity. PSM [online]. 2018, vol.16, n.1, pp.132-151. ISSN 1659-0201.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/psm.v1i1.32285.

This paper presents the most relevant results of a systematic review. Its objective is to identify how much diet quality influences obesity. Methodologically, we developed an electronic search for articles that were related to diet and obesity quality in the databases of PUBMED and Google academic; in addition, we used academic groups and the SCI-HUB platform. The results show that most of the analyzed articles conclude that there is a relationship between the quality of diet and obesity; the rest conclude that there is no relationship between these variables, but mention that a better quality of diet is important for health promotion.

Keywords : Quality; diet; dietary; obesity; health.
